Beloved autumn! Not only my favourite season but the very best knitting weather too. The nights are drawing in, there’s the beginning of a chill in the air and with rubbish on the tv, it’s the perfect time to start a quick but luxurious woolly that ticks all the boxes – a beautiful article of clothing that will last for many years as well as a rewarding project with a luxurious British yarn.
If you know me you’ll know that The Croft Aran from West Yorkshire Spinners is my very favourite yarn and I use it repeatedly. It’s as happy being knitted as a worsted as it is an aran, opening up a world of glorious independent designer patterns that you might otherwise overlook. One of the shop faves at the moment is Chroma from Jaqueline Cieslak (available on Ravelry), a simple but rewarding Sloppy Joe that goes with any kind of bottom you might throw at it (I know, I’ve worn it to death already).
It looks stunning in solid, variegated or a combination thereof and if you need any help at all choosing your colours or help with the pattern, feel free to give me a holler. Rachel x
